New toy

The other night, Matthew and I went to lowes to buy paint for our house. We put in our order and then went to find some weed killer. While looking, we found our new toy. We get almost as excited as the kids!


 My computer is being slow and I couldn't crop these closer. McKinley counted the first day we had it up. Over 50 humming bird sightings in one day. This does not mean there are 50 different birds. She kept reminding me of that. Its okay if its the same bird, its still a new sighting. Cute kid.

 There are at least 3 different birds we've been able to pick out. There is one more, not pictured, that has a much darker head.
 
The kids think its funny to smash their faces on the back door. Black mail in the future!

We are enjoying our new house. Currently have 2 different 4 foot color squares painted on our walls. Trying to decide on accent colors. Too bad neither of us have any decorating skills. I'll have to take before and after pics.
Until next time.

GPS directions from a 3-yr old

Imagine with me for a moment if 3-yr olds programmed GPS units and gave the directions to your destination. Maybe this conversation I had with Jamison will shed some light on how helpful it would be. We were leaving my work headed  home.

J: If you get lost I can tell you where we live.
M: Jamison, I'm lost. Where do we live?
J: We live in North America.
M: Uh, how do we get there?
J: Go to the corner and turn!....

Now, if that's not helpful I don't know what is! If any of you have a 3-yr old, try asking them directions and see how they do. It's guaranteed to be a riot!
